Qiong Xing smiled wryly.
It seemed Albe truly thought he was an exceptionally kind person.
"Then what would you do if you were in his position, Albe?"
"Huh?"
"Imagine you were struggling just to survive while raising Cari. Then someone like me came along and offered to hire you."
No more worrying about the next meal.
A warm house and delicious food.
No more shivering from the cold.
It would sound like the perfect life.
But what if that life existed only because children even younger than you worked tirelessly every day?
What if they were sweating and struggling for your sake, while you only helped with simple tasks and were supported by them instead?
"That would feel pretty awful."
"Right?"
Even so, Qiong Xing had never intended to force that burden onto him because he believed a man like him would never need to be forced.
